Microsoft Executive Hints At Intel Based Windows Phone Devices

In an interview to Computerworld at CES, Greg Sullivan, a senior product manager for Windows Phone did not deny about the possibility of Intel based Windows Phone devices.

“Our architecture is such that it’s hardware independent. For the same reason that Windows 8 [tablets] could run on ‘Wintel’, right now Windows Phone is on Qualcomm. We have a portable OS architecture.”

â€œWe would be [interested] when we see that this market has a good chance to return our money that we have invested into this,â€ Eul said. â€œOur roadmap has devices that can support Windows also on phones. So we can do that. The hooks for doing that [are] there.â€

Greg Sullivan however say “We have nothing to announce at this time,” although I am sure the OS is running on a prototype somewhere.
